About Us

 

The Gun Violence Prevention Research Roundtable is a nonpartisan, national coalition of leading medical, public health, and research organizations focused on educating policymakers and partners about the value of federal funding for firearm violence prevention research. We advocate for sufficient resources for this research to help understand and address the public health issue of firearm violence. We are grateful to the Joyce Foundation for its critical support to make this work possible.

Our Members

 

Our members are medical, public health, and research organizations dedicated to growing the field of firearm violence prevention research through sustained and expanded federal investments. These organizations have longstanding partnership on and commitment to this work. Like public health research on other topics such as motor vehicle safety, this critical research helps reduce injuries and deaths from firearms to keep children, families, and communities safe.

Our Steering Committee

 

The coalition’s steering committee coordinates and supports the coalition’s work. Steering Committee members include:

American Academy of Pediatrics
American College of Emergency Physicians
American Public Health Association
Safe States Alliance

Our Advisory Committee

 

Bringing together leading clinicians, public health practitioners, and researchers, the coalition’s Advisory Committee provides invaluable insights to best understand the role of federal funding in building this research community in a sustainable and impactful way.

The Advisory Committee also provides the coalition with a long-term vision for this public health field and an understanding of the resources necessary today to make that vision a reality. We are grateful to these experts for their contributions to the coalition and their longstanding leadership in this field.
